When we first arrived in Namibia we were purchasing "Shelf Milk" in a tetrapak. It was milk & we were told it kept much better than any other milk we could find in one of the three grocery stores in our town.
It was great to buy.
We could buy a case & it would last and last.
There was just one problem...my kiddos did NOT love the taste of it. If it was all there was...they would be just fine..but we found out it wasn't all there was...
We place our order with a sweet family near us on Monday or Thursday for a Tuesday or Friday Pickup. We go to their house between 8am and 2pm..pay our N$36 per 5Liter bucket, exchange our empty bucket for a filled one...and off we go!
Once we return home..we head into the "scullery" (crazy word for laundry/dishwashing room) with our bucket of Farm Fresh, cold shocked, full creamy goodness and fill our handy dandy milk jugs..
What's that you say??? Those don't look like milk jugs...
You are so right...They get the job done though!
Our finished product right here, goes into the refrigerator & is a cold, refreshing taste of "the real thing"...milk that my kiddos say, "Tastes like home!"
Just thought you'd like a little look at milk fetching--in "this missionary life"!
